Lin Chi-ling to perform in Japanese musical

It looks like Taiwanese model Lin Chi-ling has "married" her job after all.

Last year, Chi-ling broke into Japanese showbiz after making her debut on television with Japanese heartthrob Takuya Kimura in Moon Lovers.

Sealing the deal yesterday, Chi-ling will set off for Tokyo in August to reprise her role as Xiao Qiao in the Japanese musical remake of The Red Cliff. She will be performing alongside Akira -- from Japanese boyband EXILE -- who will be playing Eastern Wu commander Zhou Yu.

The model admitted that she felt stressed out as musicals required one to think on the spot. At present, Chi-ling hopes to start her Japanese and stage-acting lessons soon. She only has 45 days before the opening night of the musical.

"Thanks for all your support. I really enjoy taking on different challenges. I hope I could turn my nervous energy into performing energy," Chi-ling said.

When asked if she will reenact the steamy sex scene she had with Hong Kong actor Tony Leong in the movie, Chi-ling's manager replied that they were unsure, as "musicals are very different from movies".

The musical will be separated into two acts -- Red Cliff: Love and Red Cliff: War. Chi-ling will only be involved in the former. The musical is scheduled to run from August 8 until 31 at Ginza, Tokyo.
